Should have been better..., August 6, 2007
This review is from: Ratt - Videos From the Cellar: The Atlantic Years (DVD)
First off, i'd like to say that i'm a HUGE, HUGE Ratt Fan, and i was eagerly awaiting a release like this for years, where they had all the old Ratt videos on DVD and hopefully some cool extras, like current interviews w/ the band members, live footage, etc., etc.
Basically, what we have here is their only 2 VHS releases on DVD, plus all the videos that were never released, like "Dance", "You're in Love", etc., and THAT'S IT....NO other extras, except some lame commentary, which i'll get to later. Don't get me wrong, it's still cool, but for the die-hards like myself or the casual Ratt fan, it would have been nice to add some extra unreleased stuff, but i guess it wasn't meant to be...OH WELL!!
Also, where is the "Nobody Rides for Free" video???? Not only is that one of their better songs, but it's probably one of their TOP videos. I guess RHINO and/or Ratt couldn't pry it away from whoever has rights to that baby!! It's too bad, because it would have been nice to cap off this collection w/ a GREAT Song & Video!!
You should also be aware that there's this annoying audio feature where you can watch this entire DVD collection w/ Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini doing commentary. It's rather BORING if you ask me, and what's even more irritating is that you really have to increase the volume to hear their voices, which can be detrimental to your audio system, b/c once the clip is over, it goes back to the normal volume setting, which is now VERY, VERY high, as i found out the hard way. Whoever came up w/ this idea should be Detonated, LOL!!!
Finally, i think the guys could have paid a little tribute to Robin "The King" Crosby. It's the least they could have done for a key member of this band. NOT COOL guys!!
I guess we'll have to wait for the follow-up DVD, if they're still around...PEACE!!!

Brings back good memories, December 3, 2007
This review is from: Ratt - Videos From the Cellar: The Atlantic Years (DVD)
Wow, this DVD release is special. It collects 2 old Ratt VHS video releases, and adds on about 4 more videos. It was a treat watching this as all the songs are great, and the videos are good, especially the earlier videos which feature cameos from Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crue. The Detonator video all videos are well made, the band looks great and the production is professional. Also all the girls featured in the videos are amazing. Plus good to see Robin Crosby again, his guitar playing with Ratt should not be forgotten about.

Ratt & Roll Videos, July 6, 2007
This review is from: Ratt - Videos From the Cellar: The Atlantic Years (DVD)
What happened to "Nobody Rides For Free"? Having most of the videos on DVD is great. Maybe the missing ones are hiding somewhere on the disc. All in all this DVD is long over due and great addition to your collection.
